Grading Policy

The grade is based on homework assignments.
There will be about 4 homework assignments.

You may hand in the exercises either by yourself or by yourself.
You may not hand in the assignments in groups
larger than one. Cheating will not be tolerated. Cases of suspected cheating may
result in the grade 0 on assignments and will be processed by the
university disciplinary committee (see
the section below on Academic
Dishonesty).

Academic Dishonesty

Cheating in university courses is regarded as a serious offense. To
avoid any possible misunderstanding please read the following carefully.

Academic dishonesty includes any act of obtaining, soliciting or making
available to others, material related to homework assignments. If you commit any
of the above then you are guilty of academic dishonesty. If your partner commits
any of the above and you submit the assignment jointly then you are just as
guilty of academic dishonesty. If you choose to work with a partner then you are
both personally responsible for what you submit together. Claiming that you were
not aware of the fact that your partner copied the assignment from somebody else
will not absolve you of any responsibility.

To eliminate any doubts, we make no distinction between the two (or more)
sides of the cheating. If we suspect that Bob and Alice have copied an exercise
one from the other, we see no way they could have done this without cooperation.
It is your own responsibility to make sure that nobody can copy your files. Be
discreet.

We will not tolerate academic dishonesty in this course. If you are suspected
of academic dishonesty then a complaint will be filed with the university
disciplinary board (va'adat mishma'at) and a detailed report placed in your
academic records. The minimal penalty for this type of offense is a grade of
zero in the course. You might also be expelled from the university.

We keep records of submitted homework assignments and reserve the right to
check for academic dishonesty anytime after you have submitted an assignment.
